Ohio recorded a total of 6 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 3% of the national total. This administrative update for the week of June 22-28, 2026, shows that 5 of these were individual providers, while 1 was an organization, reflecting changes in the federal NPPES registry for the state's physician workforce.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, General Practice was the most frequent taxonomy, accounting for 2 deactivations, or 33% of the total. Other specialties observed with one deactivation each, representing 17% for each category, included Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, Otolaryngic Allergy, and Internal Medicine. Geographically, deactivations were distributed across several cities. Avon, New Philadelphia, Beachwood, Canfield, and Aurora each recorded one instance. This broad distribution across different specialties and cities indicates no concentrated trend in either practice area or specific urban centers for this reporting period.
It is important to note that NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not, by themselves, indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation to provide context.
